In Search of Myths and Heroes – Arthur the Once and Future King

Today on Far Future Horizons we join acclaimed BBC journalist Michael Wood in the fourth and final installment of his documentary series “In Search of Myths and Heroes” as we go in search of Britain's legendary King Arthur.

In this episode of the series, Wood explores the greatest British myth: the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Travelling round the Celtic world from Cornwall to Wales, Brittany, Ireland and Scotland, Wood uncovers the extraordinary story of how a shadowy Welsh freedom fighter — a Dark Age Che Guevara — became a medieval superman, and finally the model of a Christian hero.
